I think the Rice bid was perfectly acceptable, it was higher than arsenals, on shorter terms and was probably as high as we wanted. The Arse obviously viewed that he was worth more to them, I am happy with that. As for this negotiation I am sure we are talking and not just submitting a bid for the sake of it. It may get rejected but I am sure we will go back in. What I don’t get is who leaks all these “bid” details and what they get out of it. Is it the selling club to save face? Is it the buying club to show they are trying? Anyway fingers crossed we get this over the line and then get a mid or winger in as wellI genuinely think the rice bid was an outlier and as reported was a kind of why not bid, the thought process at city seemed to be if we get him fine, if not thats okay to and maybe thats why a bid went in. We also probably underestimated the mouth on sullivan and that he wanted to play this out in the press as that was best for him and its not something that city typically do
Your morning constitutional?We have movement.
Kane was just Levy being a dick. We were blindsided by Chelsea for Cucurella who offered twice what we thought the deal was worth. Poor examples.Harry Kane? Cucurella?
Did we ever actually bid for either of those players tho, forgive me if im forgetting but i think there was a lot of press talk about prices and prices we wouldnt go above but i genuinely dont recall any actual rejected bids going in for them but like i say im probably misrememberingHarry Kane? Cucurella?
Morning coffee doing it's work?We have movement.
Not really. We bid twice for cucurella before we pulled out. THEN Chelsea came in. LevyKane was just Levi being a dick. We were blindsided by Chelsea for Cucurella who offered twice what we thought the deal was worth. Poor examples.
